The Preservation of Eggs.

Australian eggs are preserved in the
following simple manner: The vessels in
which the eggs are TO be placed are glass
jars with patent shoppers, vulcanized India
rubber joints making them perfectly air
tight As soon as the eggs have been col
lected, the jars are stood in hot water for
some time. and left until the air in them
has become thoroughly warm and rarifed.
The jars having been heated, the eggs are
wrapped up in paper to prevent them
knocking together and placed in the warm
receptacle, their pointed ends being upper
most. The jars are Immediately closed
up, and then, and not until then, are re-
moved from the hot water. II is said that
if this process is skilifully carried cut the
eggs VIII be as fit for the breakfast table
as the day they were laid many months
after they were put IN the jars The great
secret Of success in carrying ont this
method Is no doubt 10 thoroughly heat the
air in the jars. The eggs viii stand
better chance of keeping If the paper In
which they are packed Is previously baked
and used warm. Patent stoppered jars
are not absolutely necessary, any stopper
answering which effectuaIy excludes the

The Death of Gen. Ewell.

TIL circumstances of the death of Gen.
Ewell, Of Tennessee, were both pathetic
and amusing. At the close of the war
Gen. Ewell bought large quantity of
clothing from the quartermaster's depart
ment for the use of the hands upon his
plantation. One wet, clustering day Gen.
Ewell, who was rather careless about his
attire, put on pair Of soldiers trousers
taken from his stock, and walked about in
the wind and rain experimenting the
work in his fields. The trousers were
much thinner than those he had been
in the habit of wearing, and in conse-
quence he caught cold, which devel-
oped into pneumonia, and eventually
caused his death. AS he lay upon his death
bed he turned to friend and said: "Wen,
this is strange. l have fought in nearly
all the battles along the Potomac and
have been badly wounded, bat escaped
with my life, and thought l was safe
from all dangers from the work, but here
am at last, dying of pair of Yankee
breeches." The old generals courage was
as unfaltering in the presence of death as
it had always been, and he may be said
to have died with jest upon his lips

The Earthquake and the Tar Heels.

was in court when colored man was
being tried for killing another colored
man, and. on asking why his jury was
wholly white, was told that he was given
the choice of being tried by his own color
or by whites, and he chose the whites
wisely. it seemed TO me, as he got off with
seven years sentence. instead of life or
worse. While listening to the trial Of
this case every one. excepting a very few,
FASTENED out of the court room and down
stairs, and in a few moments filed back
into their places. The judge remarked:
Gentlemen, the shock is past, and we
will proceed with the case" Yet l had
not felt any jar or tremor, but both white
and black natives are very sensitive re-
garding earthquakes; the one manifests it
by fear and the other by nightly prayer
meetings ever since the great shock. At

churches had not been closed since the
latter event, and that meetings were held

A Wyoming Cloudburst.

Of all the phenomena of the country the
aerial are the most curious and uncertain.
Your first impression Of great sand land
draw is that it is the result of years Of
gradual washing, but the interruption OF
an old trail hundreds of yards from its
head soon ends the beautiful theory, and
companion will show you yawning gulch
formed at the beck of a single cloudburst,
whose discharge will fill the draw half
full in an instant and raise rivulet to
which it is tributary twenty feet in as
many minutes. The duration of irrigat-
ing Improvements upon such streams is
usually six months. Then at no moment
are you certain-rain out of a clear sky,
clouds below you, in the midst of clouds,
riding below the clouds, and at the edge
of storm and avoiding it-all these
things SO preposterous in well formed
storm centers as we are accustomed to see
them in the east are among the common
things here, where nature is scarcely old
enough to be comely, or experienced
enough to practice temperance Think of
hail stones as big as your fist and of their
effect upon a growing crop.-Wyoming

The Use of Calendars.

l believe that the use of calendars as an
advertisement is purely an invention Of
the devil, and l should like to organize a
religious crusade against them. At all
hours of the day my Office is pestered with
a continuous stream Of boys, who seem to
feel that they have been defrauded out of
their just and natural rights if their re-
quest, or rather demand, is refused. They
rush in noisily, and either shut the door
with a bang that shakes the very floor and
sets the desks dancing. or they leave it
half open until the room is filed with
draughts of cold air. when the thermom-
eter without is perhaps several degrees
below zero. OF course the companies
themselves are most to be blamed. They
vie with one another in getting up cards
that are really artistic, but l think it
questionable whether they do any good in
a business way, and believe it about
time that the nuisance should be stopped.

Wolves as Herden,

A few days ago, while hunting antelope
on the divide between Horse and Adobe
creeks, came in sight of q band of wolves,
thirty or more, which were closely herd
ing about 200 head of range cattle. Ny
curiosity to learn their object induced me
to remain couple of days in seeing dis
lance to observe their actions. When my
attention was first drawn to the wolves
they were together in the rear of the cat
tie, but very soon they separated and sur
rounded the gradually outspreading herd
and chased the animals together They
would then await the notions of an ap-
parent leader, who would run into the
bunch, cut out calf, when the rest would
rush to him, help throw and hastily tear
out its entrails. Thus mangled they
would leave it, separate, and run swiftly
to surround the now fleeing cattle, again
round them up, single out another calf,
throw and leave it in dying condition.
If any of the older animals hung back and
showed fight they would be instantly ham
stringed and left thus disabled.
In no instance did the wolves seem dis
posed to further mutilate these old ami
mails. This maneuvering was repeated
time and again, until the wolves must
have satiated their taste for blood. Then
these varmints seemed to be inspired by
the teaching Of the author, ''Music hath
charms to soothe the savage breast" for
they would raise hideous howl, which
effect on the cattle was not satisfactory,
for they would trail out and try to get
away, when they would again be chased
close together and held to await further
action. How large this bunch was when
the wolves first gathered them together
have no means of knowing, but am salts
fed that the wolves and cattle will be in
separable until the calves are all killed.
Then think they will gather another and
again another bunch and kill all the
young. I counted in two days eleven
calves, some yet alive, with their entrails
protruding from their sides, besides seven
large and older ones with their hind legs
rendered useless.-Elbert (Colo.) Tribune.

The Demand for Christmas Cards.

81 lost big money On Christmas and
New Years cards." said dealer on
Broadway to a reporter. The demand
does not seem to exist for them as in
years gone by. The rising generation is
becoming so 2sthetical it is very hard to
cater to their dilettanteism. They seem
to suffer, as it were, from the safety Of
over refinement and culture; hence the
utter impossibility to please them. / i'm
ported a lot of cards from England.
thought they would be admired and be-
come popular. Well, l am out several
thousand dollars and have been taught a
lesson. l had some cards hand painted,
and they were really works of art.
ga young man sauntered in a few days
before Christmas and asked to see some
hand painted cards. l showed him some
hand painted ONES, and this is how he
questioned me: Yes, you say they are
hand painted:' Yes. at d great expense
l replied Who was the artist he asked,
putting an eyeglass to his left eye and
looking first at me and then at the card.
We'll, several artists who are skilled in
that special kind of work You don't
say; not Bouguereau, Gerome, Munkacsy
or any of those chaps, eh!' No, the artist
was an ass replied holly, as the young
man, smiling blandly at my anger, de-
parted. He is but a sample Of many
others. Presents this Christmas mostly
consisted of rare books or articles of vertu.
The cheap cards and the expensive cards
were purchased generally by the very
young misses and boys. In future the
designs of Christmas and New Years
cards will have to be made especially to
suit the taste of the very youthful. The
young men have advanced so rapidly they
require something that is on a higher art
plan than the usual Christmas cards.

that during the five days Of the show
over 10000 people visited 1t. While
there was fair exhibit of dairy imple-
ments and products, the main feature Of
the show was the large number of choice
animals selected for exhibition from
the best herds Of improved breeds in the
country. Five hundred cattle were ex-
hibited, representing in dollars and cents
100000. Nearly one-half Of these were
Jerseys. AK "a
The famous old Jersey Eurotas was the
center Of attraction among the Jerseys.
Her fame came, it win be remembered,

the year. This performance has only re-
